COMBINED SIDE AND END LOCK FOR GALLEYS.

.JPECIFECATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 320,128, dated June 16, 1885.

Application filed May 5, 18S/1. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, t mrty/ concern:

Be it known that l, VILLIAM H. GOLDING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chelsea, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Side and End Locks for Galleys, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a plan of a galley and furniture comprising my improved end lock. Fig. 2 is a section on line x x of Fig. l, and Fig. 3 is a bottom view of my improved end lock detaehed.

Like letters refer to like parts in all the Iigures.

A represents a galley of any usual construe tion, in which is a column or body of type, B, a side-stick, C, and ordinary quoins, D.

E represents my improved end'lock, which comprises aqnoin-shaped body, e, slotted, as at e, from its lower surface upward, the upper wall of the slot being formed by a bridge or connecting portion, e. From the wall of the slot opposite the body portion projects a. bar or end piece, e3, the inner face of which is exactly at a right angle to the walls of the slot e', and the bottom of which lies in the same plane as that of the body portion, so that when placed in a galley the end of the column against which the end piece is placed will be squarely held, while the side-stick will pass through the slot and rest upon the bottom of the galley, when by means of the quoinshaped body portion and any usual quoin the end piece may be locked at any desired point within the galley.

By the use of myimproved end lock I avoid the necessity of all supplementary securing devices which have hitherto been attached to side-stick-embracing end locks, and provide an article complete in itself, strong, and serviceable, and adapted by the relative arrangement of its parts to perform accurately the functions for which it is designed, and by making the lateral extension somewhat shorter than the width of ordinary columns it is adapted tol permit the body portion to perform its function of a side lock.

Having described my invention and its operation, what I claim as new is- 1. A combined side and end lock, the body portion of which has the inclined form of an ordinary quoin, substantially as specified.

2. The combined side and end lock, consisting of the body portion e, having an outer inclined side and a laterally-projecting end piece, connected to the body by a bridge, substantially as specified.

3. The combination of the galley A, sidestick C, quoin D, and the end and side lock. E, having the slotted body c, provided with an outer inclined side, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence ot' two witnesses.

W'ILLIAM H. GOLDING.
